This is a regressive opinion. If we have tools available that can solve problems—as humans are not perfect—then why not use them? Do you not enjoy the benefits

This is a regressive opinion.
If we have tools available that can solve problems—as humans are not perfect—then why not use them? Do you not enjoy the benefits of other medicine that solves problems you have, like susceptibility to Covid?
We should always be on the conquest to improve our livelihoods. If that means introducing a drug to combat obesity so that scores of people can extend their lifespans by being healthier, that is a good thing.
- CadmiumYellow 4y agoI don't think this is regressive. He's suggesting that people will gain the weight back when they go off of the drug and their appetite returns, which is a legitimate concern given that we don't know if it's safe for people to take this drug long term because it hasn't been around all that long.
- thehappypm 4y agoI disagree. Have you ever seen how obese people eat? If an obese person spends 5 years on this medicine, then goes off it, they’ve spent 5 years eating less. That’s at least some level of knowledge with real results.
